And it also avoids this thing people do where they post someone else's hour long argument and expect me to respond to that, instead of having them actually present the argument themselves.
If I want to argue with random youtubers then they have a comments section.
Christina Hoff Summers is not a random youtube though she is a well respected academic. And any time I have seen an hour long video it has been time stamped.
Her arguments on the surface make sense to me at least, for example hours worked and different professions chosen between the sexes. Men go for riskier better paid jobs and also jobs like engineers , apprenticeships for skilled labour ect. Women gravitate towards teaching and nursing.
It does mirror the people i know personally which is why it makes sense to me. Anecdotal I know.
I think they way the wage gap is presented is disingenuous but I agree that sexism still exists and that we need to do something about it. I dont believe we live in a patriarchy though and there are some situations where females have privilege and some where males do.
I will respond to your last post btw but will be busy until Monday.
Have a good weekend everybody.
